    About this audiobook





    A terrible fire in a wealthy suburban home leaves a married couple dead and Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner Rich Conklin searching for clues. And after California's golden boy, Michael Campion has been missing for a month, there finally seems to be a lead in his case--a very devastating lead.

    As fire after fire consume couples in wealthy, comfortable homes, Lindsay and the Murder Club must race to find the arsonists responsible and get to the bottom of Michael Campion's disappearance. But suddenly the fires are raging too close to home.

    Frightened for her life and torn between two men, Lindsay must find a way to solve the most daunting dilemmas she's ever faced--at work and at home.

      Another good outing in this series.

      In the 7th installment of the Women's Murder Club the girls are faced with arson, murder, stalkers, and surprises at every turn. Will the girls be able to keep up and figure it all out?? Another quick read that I really enjoyed and I can't wait to jump into book 8.

      Yuki annoyed me. She acts like she has a strong case and is sure to win. She wanted to be put in charge of the case. But I was surprised they would even go to trial with so little. Because the victim is famous seems to be the only reason. Yuki never shows concerns about the very obvious weakness of the case. All she has is a retracted confession and some jail house stool pigeons. There is no body, no forensic evidence, no blood, no witnesses to place the victim and suspect together. No witnesses placing the victim at the scene. Lots of weakness for the defense to point out. The accused also has a very successful attorney with a great reputation. Plus the accused, Junie according to Lindsey looks like "Bambi's baby sister". We are told over and over how pretty, sweet and innocent she looks. Yet Yuki never worries about any of that. There is a man who is writing a book about the victim. When he asked Yuki out and she accepts I knew that would come back to hurt her. The how was unexpected and farfetched. I did like the twist at the very end.

      I just finished 7th Heaven yesterday and liked the ending, which tied up all the loose ends on Michael Campion. Life's not fair, and sometimes people get away with their crimes. I've always liked Patterson's book, but in this one, it seemed as if the story had ended 3/4 of the way through. THEN it got really exciting!!

      While investigating a string of arson attacks that are affecting some wealthy people around San Francisco and a young prostitute who has confessed to disposing of a missing persons body. To add to things her partner confesses he has feelings for her while she's also dealing with learning to trust Joe and learn to live with another person and trust them. The court case about the missing man features Yuki and a reporter who has boundary issues.It's an interesting read, nothing spectacular but the pages flew.
    • 4/5
      Interesting story line. Clearly written. Fast paced.
    • 3/5
      Not bad for a free book, though it suffered from not having read the 6 previous novels.The case itself was interesting and the writing's pretty good. There are some moments of gender fail that made me wince, however - consider yourself warned. (I've seen worse, but...)

      Book 7 in the Women's Murder Club series was title 7th Heaven written by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. I don't have too much to say about this book but it was a very fast paced book and had the personal aspects to it again like the others. This book had various things going on. There was a famous young man that came up missing, a prostitute that he visited, arson, a new baby, Yuki's court case against a very good attorney, and romantic relationship issues. I kept saying, "Yuki doesn't have a chance in this case" and "WHAT ARE YOU DOING LINDSAY!? about her relationship with Joe and her work partner Rich. She is obviously attracted to both but come on! I wanted her to make better decisions sooner than she did. I know, often emotional reasoning is not the best thing to do but seriously. What else? This book took a long time to for the thing that happened at the end to happen. Overall, this was not my favorite book in the series but it was worth checking out maybe. I could have done without reading it and not missed it too much. Yes, they are good writers and do a fine job making me want to turn the pages to see what happens but again, not my favorite. I'd give this one 2.5 stars out of 5. Not sure if I'll read more of this series or not. I liked them well enough but I don't know. Maybe read something else next. We'll see. Come talk to me about this book if you've read it.

      This is another quick beach read. Another of the Women's Murder Club series with Lindsey, Claire, Cindy & Yuki. In this book, Detective Lindsay Boxer and her partner are investigating arson fires being set in the homes of wealthy and prominent community members. The girls take their usual roles and this is the fast paced story that unrolls with friendships and love interests common in all the Patterson books. A fun summer read.

      This Women's Murder Club mystery gives us two cases the gals have to face. A teenage son of a former governor has disappeared and an arsonist has set several fires, one of which occurs a little too close to home. Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friends are being pressured to solve these cases asap. I enjoyed the story as I do all of Patterson's books. They are the quick read that helps my brain rest after having read nonfiction.
    • 4/5
      Another quick, easy read from Patterson...and as usual, a good story. The Women's Murder Club continues to be an enjoyable read with solid plots and character developments.
    • 4/5
      Alas, not my favourite murder club book but nevertheless enjoyable. I'm not quite sure why I didn't find it as enthralling as the others but there were several story-lines and a lot of personal issues on top.Lindsay Boxer and her team are up against two big challenges. One, the loss of a vip's son and the task of prosecuting a baby-faced prostitute for his murder without having a body. Two, wealthy couples are being tied, tortured and murdered then their homes burned to the ground with them in it. The theme seems to be 'cleansing the world of the super-consumer rich'.On the personal side, Lindsay is having a few problems with both her live-in-lover Joe and her partner, Rich - Yuki is also caught up with a decidedly dubious 'beau' and Claire has some good news.
    • 4/5
      Much more cohesive than the last volume in the Women's Murder Club series, this story featured two separate but intertwined plots, the same great characters we've come to love, as well as a couple steamy romantic scenes. Highly recommended.
    • 3/5
      I've enjoyed this series thus far with fun, strong characters (I also enjoyed the tv series and was sorry to see it go) but I have to say that this book wasn't as good as the previous books from the series. Part of that may be my continued souring on James Patterson as a whole as he continues to do less of his own writing and rather leaves it to his stable of writers.
    • 4/5
      Good, but not as good as book 1 and 6. As this series moves along, the personal lives of the girls are more in the spotlight than them working together as they did in the beginning. This book has a lot going on with the chemistry between Conklin and Lindsey. It's interesting, but I found myself really torn between where I wanted Patterson to take this. I like that Conklin is swooning over Lindsey, but Joe is a rock and I think is meant to be that kind of character.Lindsey's closing of the fire cases was a surprise. It was a nice twist and something unexpected. I wasn't as interested in the case with Michael Campion so I can't really comment other than to say it's a little forgettable. I'm still looking forward to reading 8th Confession and hope that it really gets me back to loving this series.

      I've caught up now with all the Women's Murder Club series published so far. I haven't been reviewing the individual titles, but thought I'd say some things about the series as a whole.Overall, I like it. The books are workable, the characters pretty good, the plots decent. The series centers around Lindsay Boxer, a homicide detective in San Francisco. Her best friend is the medical examiner, and in the first novel she gets to know a reporter, Cindy. The three form a Women's Murder Club that helps Lindsay figure out the cases she is working on. The are joined by Assistant D.A. Jill and in later books by another Assistant D.A. The biggest problem I have iwth the series is one that is common to a lot of police procedurals. The authors seem to think a police procedural can't be interesting unless the main characters are in danger or get hurt or lose people they care for, and I don't believe that is the case. Certainly I don't think it is sustainable for something like this to happen in every book in a series, and it seems to happen in every book in the Women's Murder Club series.In sum, readable, but not outstanding. I am still bummed though that they cancelled the TV series, which I really liked.
    • 4/5
      Enjoyable, as are all the books in this series. I can't help but envision Angie Harmon as Lindsay Boxer, so it was distracting that her boyfriend Joe refers to her as Blondie. Two plotlines - one exploring the disappearance of a JFK Jr. like governor's son, and the other two psychotic arsonists - kept the pace fast and held my interest, and a surprise ending to one of them was a nice treat.

      7th Heaven by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro is another in the Women's Murder Club series. As with all the other books, its a fast and fun read, doesn't tax your brain or your eyes too much, and a nicely written little crime novel. Worth reading, if only because its a short one day jaunt, and sometimes we just need a little day trip, not a whole week long vacation!
    • 4/5
      Love the entire series of the Women's Murder Club books. Should definitely read them in the correct order.
    • 3/5
      As always with Patterson, this book was a page-turner, but some of the plot lines seemed rather ludicrous, as if Patterson is running out of material or forcing out books faster than good ideas come to him.
    • 4/5
      It was an interesting quick read.
    • 4/5
      This is one of the best Women's Murder Club books by Patterson. I thought it had a unique plot and kept me reading until the very last page.
    • 4/5
      A fast paced read, as usual in James Patterson books, with 2 stories that we don't know if are connected or not - this is one thing that's irritating me in some of Patterson latest books, it seems he's not capable of writing just one story line and so we are pushed from one scenario to another, sometimes a little lost and trying to find a link that most of the times isn't there.The big story here are the arson attacks, and though I found it compelling throughout the book, the ending was a little disappointing.As for the real big mystery that follow us all the book, what happened to Michael Campion, that I wasn't expecting. Nice surprise at the end :)
    • 3/5
      I love James Patterson but I could really focus on this book..
    • 3/5
      3.25 starsTwo storylines ran through this one. Wealthy people are being tied up in their homes and murdered via the home being set on fire. Also, the young (teenage) son of a prominent man has disappeared and a young prostitute is being questioned, as someone saw the boy coming out of her house on the night he disappeared. I listened to the audio, so I missed things here and there (as I often do, unless it’s particularly engaging!). I found the stories interesting, though I’m not finding the women’s personal lives as interesting as I once did. However, I will continue the series, at least for now.
